Hi,

028.18.1 -> the digits show me, this is a OpenVZ 028(test0)18.1 patch
imho a good overview about 2.6.18 OpenVZ kernelpatches and -images listed at http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/2.6.18/

Regards,
Thorsten

Ah, thanks very much Thorsten, I see how it works now. Is there a way to tell from the version number if a deb file has a test kernel or a stable one?

Hi All...

I have always been confused by the kernel version numbers and I finally
decided to just look stupid and ask.

I am currently running:

actual:/home/jim/openvz/kernels# uname -a
Linux actual.registrationtek.com 2.6.18-openvz-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 12
21:59:13 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
actual:/home/jim/openvz/kernels#


The file name for the deb package for this version is:

linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-amd64_028.18-2.6.18-11-1_amd64.deb

I see that there is now:

linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-amd64_028.18.1-2.6.18-12-1_amd64.deb


This file has a date of April 11, 2007, so I know it's newer.  But how
can I tell from the version numbers?  Both are 028.18 but the newer one
has a lower number, .1-2, than the older one, which has 6.  So what's
the proper way to parse this?

Also, is there a posted list of changes?  I'm running OpenVZ in
production now and so prefer not to risk an upgrade and reboot unless
necessary.

Thanks!

Jim
